  Well the British took a beating but the Germans took a pounding, this movie has a great plot to go with the story. Now Richard Burton played in many movies but I'd have to say this is one of he's best on film.
  This B/W flick will put you in the desert with the whole unit to fight the desert fox, all in all get this movie it's a good one.
